סיור Trip Thank you Menahem Mor for giving us the information of the conference --------------------------- A Biblical and Archaeological Perspective in Relation to the Israelite Location in the Land of Egypt Part 3 By Shomron The location of were Joseph son of Jacob was living during the period of the can be easily deduced from the book of Genesis. In the days of Jacob there was a famine in the land. He heard that there was food in Egypt, (Mitraim) (Genesis 42:1-2) Genesis said he heard there was food there in Mitraim (verse 2). Did he read this from stories of his father or travelers? Remember that during Isaac's days there was also a famine in the land and Isaac went to Gerar for food which was where Abimelech king of the Philistines lived (Genesis 26:1). Gerar is on the north end of the Gaza strip. The location is near the ancient sea port of Jaffa where food may have been traded. Abraham also was at Gerar (Genesis 12:10, 20:2)). Abraham was given much riches (Genesis 12:16) which he left with (13:2). This is similar with when the Israelites left with riches (Exodus 12:35-6). and when Isaac left Garar with riches also (Genesis 26:6, 13) Therefore when a famine occurred in the land of Canaan, Gerar was the location of food to be found. But there is also another side that must be seen, the covenant between Abraham and Abimelech. This covenant took place in Beersheba (Genesis 21:31). The covenant was also between Abraham's son (Isaac) and his son (Jacob) (Genesis 21:23). And it says, "according to the kindness that I have done unto thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast sojourned.' And when Jacob was before Abimelech's grandson, he gave him land to sojourn (Genesis 47:4-6). The proof may be seen when Pharaoh asked the age of Jacob (47:8-9). So the covenant between the sons of Abraham and Ambinelech is seen! ---------------------- Need of a book! From the Editor With all the information on Samaritan-Israelites spread out in so many books, it would be really nice to have a book entitled 'A Bibliography of Samaritan Personage.' It would like all data of Known Samaritan-Israelites on record similar to Alan Crown's book 'A Bibliography of Samaritans'. It would be nice to have the information known written first and then the information source shown after. It would however be monumental and would be a great asset to Samaritan-Israelite studies. Further information will always come to view as in the below book, The late Dr Charles Beke's discoveries of Sinai in Arabia and of Midian. by Charles Beke, Charles (ed. Emily Beke) that has in formation I feel that is unknown to scholars today of the information of Yakub esh Shellaby. This will be interesting to read! ----------------------- The Reader's Circle
